Worried my interview

[ceadsearc 515]

Tax fraud is more likely to be an IRS issue. If you are on that tax return, though, it'll be your problem too.

Yes, you may be more heavily scrutinized because of the short time between marriages. In my case I am the USC and I divorced only 3 months before I remarried (was separated long before that, my state has a 1-year waiting period for divorce and then my ex caused a lot of problems to delay it further). I was asked a TON of questions about my ex and my husband was asked a ton about what he knew about my ex as well - and my ex was not on my taxes. But if you have a lot of bonafide evidence you should be able to overcome it.

Was the ex a citizen? Or did your husband petition her as well?

[simpleLady 1]

She is American and they have child with us. My husband got the full custody of a child

[ceadsearc 515]

That will certainly be less suspicious than had he petitioned her, then. Good luck!

[simpleLady 1]

Thank you....

I agree, tax fraud is IRS issue. if it is a fraud he will face the consiquences of it not me because i am not included of it at all. Well, i am just hoping that the IO will not make it a big deal for my application. Because the bottom line of this is wether the marriage is true or not. and i can prove to them that our marriage is true. in addition, i moved from my previous school to another school where is close to my husbands apartment.

I would disagree of what you said for the immigration benefit because our married is true and i can prove it to the immigration. If my husband commit that fraud thing i am out of it.

The bottom line is that he has claimed a deductible for no reason. He could have filed with you on the taxes and got the same deductible. Do they have children together? Maybe they claimed together to be able to the the EIC etc. Whatever the reasons, it could be a factor in the interview and they could ask him to amend his taxes. He can still amend his taxes at this time before tax season is over and I would strongly suggest he does that.

Yes he will have to repay some of it but when he tries to claim with you next year, it may flag in the IRS filing department, and they can audit you up to 3years back.

Its never a good idea to defraud the IRS.

That seems a rather cold statement...you realize that if your husband was charged with fraud it will affects your 'true marriage' just a bit?

I know I would be really concerned if I found out the woman I love more than breathing could be facing charges of fraud...

My husband file his tax return and putting his ex as his dependent. i'm not sure but i guess he filed it jointly with his ex wife because his asked for his ex wife's W2.

I'm confused, you are talking about stuff to take to interview right? So why are you sweating about taxes. You've already done all that, unless they have specifically asked for RFE on the affidavit of support it's not an issue. There is a list of 'evidence' that you can look at, here in VJ. As for your pictures, bring different ones. Your wedding, any birthdays, family celebrations etc.

I really recommend you and him to go to an accountant and fix that, even he can speak with turbo/tax and they got change that , but I am not sure. I know a friend of mine , he owe money to the IRS so the immigration didn't grant the green card to his wife until he fixed his problem with IRS. since it's the tax return for last year it's easy to fix... and u can go to interview with no worries , I believe returning a few hundreds back to the IRS is better than stuck with them and u got ur immigration benefits on hold

I disagree with you

and for the information only, USCIS is asking for the tax return not only to see your income but also to see that you are a good citizen. Because you are requesting from the government to give your spouse an immigration benefit , so you should be doing your part and paying your taxes as stated by LAW.

and just for the knowledge sponsoring a relative is not a right , it's a privilege given to USC. I heard a couple of stories about some people who were on hold with USCIS because of taxes issues.

Just wondering, since I'm in a similar situation (but even less time between divorce and new marriage) what kinds of questions were asked? Did they want to know that your husband knew your ex?

[simpleLady 1]

The IO didn't ask anything about my husband's previous marriage. I am single when I marry to my husband. He just asked about the two of us. He didn't even asked for more photos. He asked any documents that have our names on it. I gave him our health insurance, car insurance, lease and joint bank accounts.
